I want to fight some bandits!

[VikingDork]

I heard there were bandits with the 1.0 release. I am WELL aware of how the game works, and how it goes by years played. Has anyone got to the time frame where they are starting to become an issue?

bandits can spawn on random location at year two. But don´t expect to much or big fights. Thats 2-5 bandits, not really hard. Bears/wisents are more dangerous That´s not a fighting game.

That's okay! I want to kind of RP, so I was just curious as to when they came about. I am year two, so I'll keep my eyes out.. Do they spawn near the random camps in the wild that I see?

Just walk near their camp ... one might attack you from the rear. It happened to me. Now, I'm going to quick save and provoke a bandit into a fight ... if I lose, no problem ... rinse, repeat.

Encountered my first one recently. Just a random spawn alongside a road. This was in, I believe, year 3. I don't know if it's tied to years or if it's tied to your village rank. I'd recently finished a couple of the chapter quests so I progressed that forward a bunch as well.

It was pretty cool. Decent loot. Arrows to the face are very effective. I was disappointed that a spear to the crotch wasn't. :)

They do have an agro range and they do stop after a certain point so you can kite them and also limit your pulls. They also block and use ranged weapons. Pretty cool.

Once cleared of bandits, the camp disappeared the next day.

Very awesome! I am having some trouble finding and actually killing a moose, so I wonder if that has something to do with it. I made my village where the wiki said they spawn too! I wonder if they are seasonal... anyways, I hope to see some bandits soon. I keep seeing camps and loot at the camps which is super cool!

I see moose all the time. I set up West of the starting village in the campaign (Gostovia), just west of the first bridge. They appear in the wooded area south of the lake mixed in with deer.

I am actually just west (barely) of the second bridge... I know I have seen them, but now that I need them I can't see them! Are they a seasonal animal?

[LoneGunman]

I think so. I'm in winter right now and can't find any. Just deer. Found bison (Wisent) though. Just need a thaw (I've killed a lot of moose but now I have the quest to kill specific animals and I'm in winter with no moose!).

I encountered my first bandits on year 2 spring. There were two of them. They went down pretty easily (just a couple shots each) with a recurve bow and poisoned bronze arrows.

I found a few camps early on and they had some loot but the bandits didn't show up until year six in my game.

[VikingDork]

Aw man, that really sucks! I am anxious! haha I will keep the look out. I still can't find any moose.

I actually couldn't find moose in the usual spot this year. Found them further south along the way to Hornica in the south. Also, the map pack that you can get for the game (the free one here on Steam) shows where bandits can spawn and they don't match what I experienced so far so...I dunno. Maybe you'll just have to wander around a bunch and hope for random luck to get you a camp. :)

By the way, the one I found had large wood spike barricades and a fire going. Might make it easier to spot as you roam around.

I have heard that map pack is very inaccurate.

Seems so.
